In a statement made after the meeting, alluded to the action taken and to tbe present status or the fund. "In 1 S 97 we could have distribut ed the principal, aceordit-g to the original understanding and wishes of Mr. IVabody." he said. "We at that time decided that ft was hardly advisable. In the best Interest of the fund, to draw on the principal and so mraitHHl irom so doing. last year we donated $1,000,000 to the entablixhuicnt or the 'George Pea body College for Teacher,' at Nash ville, Tciin., thus diminishing our fund to Just l,r.io.nyo.
